So what is it? I always thought that Pankartion fighting was just a more formal word used to describe MMA?

But recetly i read an article that said someitgn like "since the demise of Pankartion fighting took place MMA has been popularized due to UFC blah balh blah...etc...."

So wut the hell is pankration? IS it MMA? Is it BJJ? Or is it a combo?
